East Java inter-regional trade missions

The East Java provincial government has conducted trade and investment missions to strengthen economic cooperation and market access with other Indonesian regions.

A mission involving North Sumatra recorded transactions totaling Rp2.843 trillion, with East Java products accounting for Rp2.721 trillion of that value. This initiative included various commodities such as poultry, dairy, fish, rice, and coffee. North Sumatra Governor Bobby Nasution highlighted the need to strengthen Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to address global economic challenges.

A subsequent mission to Aceh recorded Rp1.218 trillion in transactions. During this mission, Bank Jatim facilitated the participation of three mentored MSMEs specializing in embroidered clothing, skincare, and batik. Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa noted that these missions serve as strategic instruments to connect commodity-rich regions with those requiring supplies, effectively shortening distribution chains.
